AgEd and Advocacy Lesson 5: Agricultural Careers

Students engage in a simulation game to explore economic variables that determine profits in agriculture. Then, they research and evaluate agriculture and natural resource careers related to science, engineering, and business. They will choose one of the careers and write a reflective piece about its requirements, future outlook, and impact.
